Default Pickle Ball in Tennis Courts?

We need more pball courts~plain and simple. All the pball courts have lines of people waiting to play, even in the off season.

One solution is to change some of the tennis courts over to pball. The tennis courts are usuallu pretty empty.
Everyone has heard by now that pball is the fastest growing sport in America. It's only going to get more crowded here.
My question is who can we talk to about this problem and about this solution? Does anyone know who we talk to?
Thanks in advance for your time and your suggestions.

It’s not uncommon to duel purpose courts. Our beach club in Rhode Island included pickle ball on two of four Tennis courts by including pickle ball lines on two of the courts plan on expanding to remaining two courts 2023 season everyone seems to be happy

It ain't gonna happen. BUT, some of the rec centers have enough room to expand/add more PB courts.

You might contact the PCVG (Pickleball Community Volunteer Group). You are not the first to make this suggestion.

Many times when I walk to get our mail I often see the pickleball courts empty in my neighborhood! I won't name it for fear of retribution.

Be thankful you don't want to use the woodworking shops.

The problem is everyone wants to play in the morning. Finding tennis courts before 11am is also tough.
